China's space program has made amazing progress in recent years. In 2003, Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut 1 (travel) into space aboard Shenzhou 5. Since then, China 2 (send) many more astronauts into space.
In 2019, China made history by 3 (land) a spacecraft on the far side of the moon — something no other country had ever done. The Chang'e 4 mission sent back the first close-up pictures of 4 mysterious side of the moon. In 2020, Chang'e 5 brought moon rocks back to Earth 5 (successful).
China is now building its own space station called Tiangong. Astronauts from different countries 6 (invite) to work together on the space station. This shows China's openness to international cooperation.
Looking to the future, China has even 7 (big) plans. Scientists are working on missions to Mars and beyond. They hope 8 (find) signs of life or water on other planets. Some even dream 9 sending people to Mars one day.
As President Xi Jinping said, "Exploring the vast universe is 10 common dream of all humankind." China's space journey has just begun.

【导语】本文介绍了中国航天事业近年来的重大成就,从神舟五号到嫦娥工程再到天宫空间站,展现了中国在太空探索领域的快速发展。
Is there life on other planets? This question 1 (interest) humans for thousands of years. With the development of technology, we are now closer than ever to 2 (find) the answer.
Mars is the planet that scientists are most interested 3 . It has many similarities to Earth — it has seasons, ice caps and maybe even water under 4 (it) surface. Several space agencies have sent rovers (探测器) to Mars to search 5 signs of life.
But Mars is not the only possibility. Scientists have discovered that some moons of Jupiter and Saturn may have liquid water oceans under 6 (they) icy surfaces. Where there is water, there might be life.
However, even 7 we find life on other planets, it probably won't be little green men. Most likely, it will be tiny organisms (微生物) — simple life forms. But even that would be one of 8 (great) discoveries in human history.
The search for extraterrestrial (地球外的) life teaches us something 9 (value) about ourselves. It reminds us how special our planet is and why we 10 (protect) it now more than ever.
【答案】1. has interested 2. finding 3. in 4. its 5. for 6. their 7. if 8. the greatest 9. valuable 10. should protect

explore distance mission imagine surface astronaut universe likely technology future
What lies beyond the stars? Humans have always wanted to 1 the unknown. Space, the final frontier, is full of mysteries waiting to be discovered.
Every space 2 begins with careful planning. Scientists and engineers work together for years before a spacecraft is even ready. The 3 between Earth and other planets is so huge that it can take months or even years to reach them.
Can you 4 walking on the surface of another planet? For a few lucky 5 , this dream has become a reality. They describe the 6 of the moon as dusty and gray, with a sky that is always black.
The 7 is so vast that we will probably never explore all of it. But with advancing 8 , we are making progress. New rockets, better telescopes and smarter robots help us see farther than ever before.
In the 9 , space travel may become as common as air travel is today. Companies are already planning tourist trips to space. It is very 10 that some of today's students will visit space in their lifetime.
【答案】1. explore 2. mission 3. distance 4. imagine 5. astronauts 6. surface 7. universe 8. technology 9. future 10. likely
【导语】本文是一篇关于太空探索的短文,介绍了人类探索宇宙的梦想、太空任务的过程和未来的可能性。
八、阅读理解
A
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." These famous words were spoken by Neil Armstrong when he became the first person to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. It was a moment that changed history.
The Apollo 11 mission was the result of years of hard work by thousands of scientists and engineers. The spacecraft traveled 384,000 kilometers to reach the moon. The journey took about four days. When Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin finally landed, millions of people around the world watched on television with great excitement.
Walking on the moon was not easy. The moon's gravity is only one-sixth of Earth's, so the astronauts could jump very high. However, their spacesuits were heavy and the surface was covered with a fine, sharp dust. The astronauts spent about two and a half hours on the surface, collecting rocks and setting up experiments.
Since Apollo 11, only 12 people have walked on the moon — all of them American men. Now, more than 50 years later, many countries are planning new moon missions. China has already landed spacecraft on the moon several times and plans to send astronauts there soon.
The moon landing showed us that with courage, teamwork and technology, humans can do things that once seemed impossible. It remains one of the greatest achievements in human history.
1. Who was the first person to walk on the moon?
A. Buzz Aldrin.
B. Neil Armstrong.

2. How long did the Apollo 11 journey to the moon take?

D. About one month.
3. How many people have walked on the moon so far?
A. 6.
B. 10.
C. 12.
D. 20.
4. What does the moon landing show us according to the passage?
A. Space travel is too dangerous.
B. Only Americans can go to space.
C. Humans can do things that once seemed impossible.
D. The moon is not worth exploring.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. C
【导语】本文回顾了人类首次登月的历史时刻,描述了阿波罗11号任务的历程及其对人类探索精神的深远影响。
B
Imagine waking up and looking out of your window to see Earth floating in the blackness of space. For astronauts living on the International Space Station (ISS), this is everyday life.
The ISS is the largest space station ever built. It's about the size of a football field and orbits Earth at a speed of about 28,000 kilometers per hour. That means the astronauts on board see 16 sunrises and sunsets every day!
Life on the ISS is very different from life on Earth. Without gravity, everything floats — including the astronauts themselves. They sleep in sleeping bags tied to the wall so they don't float away. Washing is difficult because water forms floating balls in the air. Even going to the bathroom requires special equipment.
But life in space isn't just about dealing with difficulties. Astronauts do important scientific research that cannot be done on Earth. They study how the human body changes in space, grow plants in zero gravity, and test new technologies. This research helps us understand more about our own planet and prepares us for future missions to Mars.
The ISS is also a symbol of international cooperation. Since 2000, astronauts from 19 different countries have lived and worked together on the station. In space, national borders don't matter — everyone works together for the good of science and humanity.
1. How fast does the ISS orbit Earth?
A. About 10,000 km/h.
B. About 28,000 km/h.
C. About 50,000 km/h.
D. About 100,000 km/h.
2. How do astronauts sleep on the ISS?
A. In regular beds like on Earth.
B. In sleeping bags tied to the wall.
C. They don't sleep at all.
D. On the floor of the space station.
3. What kind of research do astronauts do on the ISS?
A. Only growing flowers.
B. Scientific research that cannot be done on Earth.
C. Only watching movies.
D. Only cooking experiments.
4. What does the ISS symbolize according to the passage?
A. American power.
B. International cooperation.
C. The end of space exploration.
D. Competition between countries.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. B 4. B
